All the shows with gate prices ranging from Sh3000 to Sh20000 were completely sold out.

The shows were organised by pay television channel Multichoice and WWE.

Earlier, Game Yetu caught up with the wrestlers to get a sneak preview into a sport that was popular on local television in the 90s. According to Drew Gulak it is all a show and warned that people should not try to emulate what they do in the ring at home.

Gulak who was inspired by the likes of Hulk Hogan and Undertaker says being a wrestler is a full time job and has a tight training schedule.

The only lady in the group, Bayley said she wanted to be a wrestler from the age of 13 having watched the sport on television.
